I can get someone to massage my neck, but I will be doing most of the PT. I had surgery to my C5/6,I take it that is a one level. I do not have a bone stimulator. I saw my surgeon for the first time in December, he just asked how I was doing. I told him I was battling the quitting smoking. I have an appointment in June to probably see how it has fused and probably go from there. Its been almost 4 months since my Sept.29, 2012 surgery. I have managed to quit smoking since Jan.2 with no relapse. I feel really good with issues sleeping, but since before my surgery, I cannot complain. Yes, I am experiencing some pain, but i am hoping its part of the long term affect I will experience and will subside with some PT, heat, ice. I also have a Tense machine I have yet to use after my surgery. Thank you!!
